Today "La gazzetta dello Sport", the most ancient, reliable and serious Italian sporting newspaper, has referred that NUFC has offered a three years deal to Roberto Mancini for being the next manager of the Magpies.

Mancini would be thinking about this offer, due to the bad campaign of Internazionale FC that has provoked the violent reaction of some supporters and made Mancini to be annoyed about the excesses of the Italian football.

I know Mancini very well because ha has managed my Italian team, SS Lazio, and I think he is a great manager.

He has been managing since four years and he has just won three major trophies: the Italian FA Cup with Fiorentina in 2003, when the "Viola" were subjected to bankruptcy proceedings; the Italian FA Cup with Lazio in 2004, with the company in temporary receivership due to the financial problems of the club; and again the Italian Cup last season with Inter that had not been winning a major trophy since ten years; this year he must play the final of the Italian FA Cup against AS Roma (the second team of the Capital).

Mancini has always a clear game plan, home and away; he usually makes his teams to play an exciting attacking football, a flowing, fluent passing footbball. He'is similar to King Kevin as far is the football vision is concerned, so I think he would be great for the Toon, and I would be glad as I have a soft spot for them.

The only doubt that I have is if he would set in Toon: he's accustomed to live in Rome or Milan, and to spend holidays in his luxurious yacht. But if he should set, he could bring a bit of fresh air in the Premier League.
